Overview

About Me

I have ten fingers and ten toes, one open mind, 18,000 songs and 1,500 books in my pocket (ahh technology isn't it great? when it works anyway)

PHILOSOPHY

You only live once, make sure it is enough (I got that from a beer ad, doesn't mean it's not good advice though)

Interests

Music, Film, Snowboarding, Basketball, History, and the Future.

Music, Movies & Books

To many to mention but my favorite novel is One Hundred Years of Solitude. My music taste varies widly, if we meet up I can put it on random and see what comes up it could start with Outkast then go to Johnny Cash then Toots & The Maytals then RJD2 to El Gran Silencio to Gershwin to...who knows.
I'm a bit of a film nerd so I can't pick a favorite film but a few of my favorite directors are Akira Kurosawa (Seven Samurai may be the best film of all time) Robert Rodriguez (nobody has more fun making movies than this guy) Guillermo Del Toro (his visuals are unmatched) and Darren Aronofsky (always leaves you on the edge of your seat and uncomfortable) But it's not all arty nerdy stuff I think Kingpin is probably the funniest movie ever and Superbad, Scott Pilgrim and Wedding Crashers are hilarious too.

One Amazing Thing I've Done

Living this life

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some Spanish, a few guitar chords and if you have any inclination to travel anywhere in North America I'm the guy to talk to. I was a tour guide for 8 years covering basically everything from Guatemala to Alsaka.
